                                                     It is no more awkward that a person cries when he or she is very excited or happy or extremely grateful. It is a new month and my immerse desire is that God favour you this new month. Tears of joy and laughter. Transcending from greatness to greatness. Happy new month.

 Over the years both men and women's outfits has evolved due to different factors and more creative imaginations but this outfit just refused to leave the picture of the new fashion trend. I love it because it is stylish and traditional. It fits perfectly into the. 21th century fashion trends. Two major tribes in Nigeria are very peculiar with this outfit,the yorubas and the hausa people although it is peculiar among them other tribes in Nigeria and outside Nigeria have also rocked this outfit. Most shocking evolving fact is that women now rock this outfit. I have never tried it  before but I feel it looks good on them. I am not
just daring enough yet...good morning

This young man appears so serious like he knows what he is doing . It is Sunday again and we celebrate mothers through their children. Nice put together

Please do not ever ever insult me that I like food too much. That is degrading. Lol, just joking!!!!!. I love good food and it is very fascinating how many kinds of delicacies you can found in Nigeria but......this one, I hold very close to my heart. It is "ukodo"!!!!!. I grew up eating this meal although it is an occasional meal in my home but it's worth every occasion for which it is prepared. Simply yam and pepper soup cooked together alongside wonderful parts of goat meat and other healthy spices. Honestly,i tried not to emphasize my love for "ukodo ". Before now and always I always that whenever you visit the south particularly Delta state try it out. It is worth every penny.
I told you on our Facebook page @southern Nigerian Beauty that a Nigerian woman possess more than a pretty face. I almost forgot, please any attempt to make this meals please make effort to get soft and delicious white yam. It will really aid the taste and look.

                                         Here in Nigeria it is very typical for the man to get fed by the woman and in most cases on her kneel. I thank God daily that the era is quickly fading off and men now see the need to respect and love tenderly the women they marry who is also the mother of their children. I don't know what this guy is doing but it seems he is blowing the food cold with is mouth. A pampered wife is most likely going to serve you as a king. She no animal treat with love. Even our fore fathers did not treat their wives as animal very surprised how women molestation and severe abuse is very rampant..women please treat him well in return for love .

In Most marriages in Nigeria the father of the bride prays over the couple ushering them into a new beginning. There is no greater connection in earthly existence which is stronger than a mother and a child .It pleasures me each time I see a mother praying over her daughter. It is obviously giving her daughter a head start. I remember the first time my mother told me that I will make a beautiful bride everything around me turned gold and I completely  saw myself differently. Speak a word on her today it will go very far.  

Sunday 21 February 2016

Good morning
I have read several books and articles that continually depicts that motherhood is another phase of a woman' s life bringing with tears, laughter, awe,the fragile nature of humanity......I can go on and on. Nothing can be compared with the bond a mother has with her child. My father  always Says you can never be too old to be called a child.
Happy sunday

This might not really make any meaning to some people but i see a lot of sense in this. It is expected at that age we should know how to do more than the basics. Improve yourself daily. Being a better person takes conscious effort.

Busy, busy busy, with serious network issues.
Still,it pleasures me to share this. The uniqueness of Nigeria as a Nation are numerous but it's diversity stands out as time evolves. Before now parents including my own parents were very skeptical about marrying a man outside my tribe. It was a passive discouragement given regularly. But today I think the story has changed for most parents because diversity most times brings out a unique and different bond from the regular bonding we have in our tribe. I have attended marriages where two spokesmen are employed just to ensure that both families have a meeting point. Now yoruba marry EDO, Igbos marrying Deltans...it is so amazing. I just had to share this picture it says it all.  If you fall in love with a man not your tribe,go on!! It is legal and workable but please subject to parents blessings. We are Africans

SWANGE AFRICAN DANCE.
This is very popular among the Tiv people in central Northern Nigeria. It is a recreational dance done by both male and female in a circular form alongside singing and dance to sounds produced from both Tiv and Hausa tribe. The accelerated part of the dance is when a solo dancer takes the stage and improvises freely. 
This dance is really wonderful and exciting I have seen a benueman dancing it and I wasn't tempted to join in. It was exciting to watch but not for practicals. I might just end up having very painful joints the next morning

Happy valentine, yesterday the proverb was self explanatory but my take on it is that don't let whether a child grows to be a better or not is dependent on everyone in the society including you and me.
No intent to bore you with proverbs on this lovely day of love. It is my immerse desire that you find love and if you already have remain in love because that hoe special you are to me.
This is my favorite picture. One thing is obtainable in us   all and that is LOVE. No much stories show love in the best possible way and make Nigeria a bit different from what we know it to be. Show some love and let's pay it forward!!!!.happy valentine' day.

Before the advent of cortex and lipsticks the hausa woman finds a way to make herself beautiful. The use of HERNA "lali" dates back to time immemorial. Evolving from the use of "lali" leaves to refined products. It is wonderful to keep touch with amazing beauty tips. I tried it on my nails and my toes it's long lasting and it's so pretty!!!!!!
So it goes on an on what can be found in the north. They might not be very rich at list most of them but the hands of beauty is laid on everyone woman here all have access to everything that makes a woman beautiful.....

I got this picture from a friend who got it from a friend and the friend said she got it from a friend...lol. Still it is a very beautiful picture. Since I crossed over to the north to stay for a while, the Fulani women always leaves lasting impressions in my mind. They are beautiful, colourful and kind of hard working. They might not be the most organised women because they move from place to place. Trust me whenever they are ready to look organised they produce such colourful combination.
Hard working??? Yes!!. Here in the north "" fura da nunu" is best prepared by them. Sounds strange right?. Don't bother much it is simply natural cow milk sometimes garnished with banana and other enticing things. It is one of the best refreshment here desired by both the rich and the poor.
A Fulani woman can also keep you in awe with her long, black African hair. Her hairdo is also worth noticing.
I could go on and on, their dance steps that which I have seen for my self could keep you standing all day. They make such  marvellous sound with their tongues during singing and dancing...so wonderful that It made me to try out my own version but I almost lost my tongue...lol. Still working on it "sha".
They are just awesome in their own way and when people say black is beauty I comprehend.

EDO...... powerful monarch, wonderful traditional attire. The Benin people have had popularity for many generations past. Her total respect for her kings have made Benin very famous.
I once heard that the king was sued to court and was walking on the road to attend his case but women of The Benin kingdom were wailing and spreading wrappers on the road for him to step on. Imagine how high they hold their kings.
The most enchanting part to me about the Benin is their traditional attire especially for the woman. They adorn women with priceless African traditional beads. Red beads and the sight is so breath taking. I have not been fortunate enough to see a woman from a royal lineage. They are said to wear the most priceless of all this traditionally enchanting jewel.
It is not surprising why the white men in the past saw the Benin people to be very fascinating.

It is very funny and surprising when people ask why a soup will be made from palm nut .Trust me until you savour it's sweetness it is mere palm fruit.Deltans are well known for their extra ability to prepare this special meal.  
Preparation is quite simple and straightforward. Some persons might decide to eat it with 'Eba' or starch anyone works fine. Just in case you find yourself in the south particularly Delta. Try out this meal it's mind blowing especially the fresh fish garnished one .
GOOD morning and try a new recipe today.
Good morning beautiful people. It's Sunday and as always I bring you a beautiful image of Nigeria.
So unfortunate I can't speak my language but I sure know how to dress very well in my native attire.
Please do not let your kids lose touch of their root Nigeria is all we have got.
This young man makes my smile smile...lol.
What is your child wearing today?
It does not have to be a very skimpy skirt let you children embrace a different look today. If you have already returned from church, give your child a daring look next Sunday.
Would really love feed backs alongside picture....cheers

Some call them timid ,some say they are oppressed and do not lift a hand to resist.This might be an hasty conclusion.I personally might not be able to discharge your claims.But here is what i know she is Northern ,a woman daring to be strong in the midst of an unfriendly society.She covers her body and guides it .she ventures to know about education along side husband and children tarrying behind her.She might not be what the world wants her to be .She might be different from what we use to know , but she is beautiful in her diverse way .She is more than we see.EXPLORE!!!!!!!

Beauty in Southern Nigeria

There is true beauty in the Southern Nigeria .It is almost impossible to tell which  part of Nigeria has more beauties but I feel the SOUTHERN Nigerian woman has beauty worthy of acknowledgement .
